pecan pie recipe
pecan pie recipe by pioneer woman
Ingredients
1 whole unbaked pie crust
1 c. white sugar
3 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. corn syrup
3/4 tsp. vanilla
1/3 c. melted butter (salted)
3 whole eggs, beaten
1 c. (heaping) chopped pecans
Directions
First, whip up your pie crust using Sylvia’s Perfect Pie Crust.
Preheat the oven to 350˚. Next, mix the sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl.
Pour the chopped pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.
Pour the syrup mixture over the top. Cover top and crust lightly/gently with foil. Bake the pie for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil, then continue baking for 20 minutes, being careful not to burn the crust or pecans.
NOTE: PIE SHOULD NOT BE OVERLY JIGGLY WHEN YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE OVEN.
If it shakes a lot, cover with foil and bake for an additional 20 minute or until set.
Required baking time seems to vary widely with this recipe. Sometimes it takes 50 minutes; sometimes it takes 75!
Allow to cool for several hours or overnight. Serve in thin slivers.

2 tablespoons butter melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) pecans
1 (9-inch) unbaked OR frozen deep-dish pie crust

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla using a spoon. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into pie crust.
Bake on center rack of oven for 60 to 70 minutes (see tips for doneness, below). Cool for 2 hours on wire rack before serving.
Place cookie sheet in oven and preheat oven as directed. Pour filling into frozen crust and bake on preheated cookie sheet.
RECIPE TIPS: Pie is done when center reaches 200°F. Tap center surface of pie lightly – it should spring back when done.
For easy clean up, spray pie pan with cooking spray before placing pie crust in pan.
If pie crust is overbrowning, cover edges with foil.
High Altitude Adjustments: Reduce sugar to 2/3 cup and increase butter to 3 tablespoons. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
VARIATION: coarsely chopped walnuts may be substituted for pecans to make a walnut pie.
